Comic book superheroes on the big screen

Marcus said: “Whether they're a 12-foot purple guy, or a raccoon, or an android, they're all people, and we're going to write them as people. You can't write them any other way.”

From this description it’s clear that the “12-foot purple guy” is Thanos, the movie’s baddie played by Josh Brolin, who saw his own screen debut in Guardians of the Galaxy.

Then there’s the android, Paul Bethany’s Vision, who has one of Thanos’ Infinity stones in his head. Those two had already been confirmed, but it’s the other example that will be catching fans’ attention.

Chris Pratt's Star Lord has already been confirmed for the epic two-part film

The fact that Marcus included "a raccoon" in his description gives good reason to believe that Cooper’s raucous Rocket the raccoon will be causing hilarious havoc in one of the movie’s two parts as well.

If both Pratt and Cooper are appearing, it would be reasonable to believe that all the Guardians of the Galaxy will be joining the Avengers to take on Thanos, in a cosmic battle of good and evil.

The Guardians aside, Marvel has been teasing some other characters for the Infinity War two parter including Chris Hemsworth’s Thor and Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch.
